Very nice and approachable Pinot. Different in style from the Loring wines but still well made. No sharp edges, soft and subtle fruit with a more savory edge than loring style. Well priced and definitely worth the case purchase. — 6 years ago
Good Pinot. The fruit tasted a little cooked, there wasn't much complexity, and the acidity had really faded. I expected more from LWC, especially in a great vintage. — 7 years ago

Brian Loring, a friend from ebob days and current friend on FB sent me a case of wine. This is one of many notes on that case. I have not had a CA chard in ages. It's a big rich nose for sure. Buttery. Not really oaky but rich aromas. Also beyond that is some mineral notes. Palate has great acids, and is much more lean and mineral on the palate than the nose leads you to believe. Nice freshness and well made. Persistent. Palate is compact, medium bodied and zippy. Acids Hit your palate nicely on the finish. — 7 years ago

This 2008 Naylor Dry Hole is great. Ok, I am biased, I picked the weeds in the vineyard. — 11 years ago
A bit green yet showcasing everything necessary for an enjoyable experience with a Pinot Noir. Bright red fruit, light acidity, lush mouth feel and smooth, crisp finish. Must have! — 5 years ago
Light and bright. A little too light for me. Black fruit. Red cherry. Not as robust as previous vintages, if I recall correctly but still solid. Loring consistently delivers. — 6 years ago
Yes, it's a screw top Pinot, but one of best. Dark fruits(Santa Rita Hills) with a nice long finish. We found this winery a few years back on a wine trip with the Kennedys. Brian Loring was the original winemaker. Yum. — 7 years ago
Spectator gave this beautiful wine a 94. With a striking ruby color wine is full bodied with a top note of red berry fruit. Drinking beautifully in 2016. — 7 years ago
Still quite young, but good flavors and potential. Currently lacks complexity and is more primary in its palate presentation, but still quite tasty. A bit rough around the edges. Needs time. — 8 years ago
For about 24 bucks this is a very enjoyable easy drinking pinot — 9 years ago
They hit it with the 2012! Spicy, complex, smokey. Food, no food, it works either way. — 9 years ago
